1. BLT sandwich, potato salad, fruit wedge, and unsweetened tea.
2. Roast beef sandwich, potato chips, and 2% milk.
3. Egg salad sandwich, side salad, applesauce, and diet soda.
4. Pork tenderloin sandwich, fruit cup, and milk.
Correct Answer: 3
The menu of egg salad, a side salad, applesauce, and diet soda does not violate Jewish religious customs. The Jewish client is least likely to be accepting of the meal containing pork. In addition, meat and milk are not served in the same meal.
